That's mo-betta. Two layers of window screen. Mid day sun's a little intense for hardening off.

Phone camera decided to focus on the closest thing I guess.

RE: tomato trellises. I had seen the Trellis to Make You Jealous video from the guy that girl was talking about. Been a few years.

I’m going to do something similar with some 1 inch fiberglass composite sucker rod I have. Use those for posts. Drill 1 inch holes most of the way through the ends of a 2x4 and set it down on top of the posts. Drill a hole on each end through the wood into the fiberglass rod and run a screw in to keep it from popping up/off. The 2x4 will keep the spread on the posts. Then right under the 2x4 going from one post to the other, use chain and a turnbuckle to tension it.

It will be nice and tight/strong. Part of my makeshift trellis last year was some chain and it was nice because the hanging lines couldn’t slide back and forth like the rest did when it got windy.
